    Juego magnífico, de acción y que tiene una gran historia, para mí ha sido una gran sorpresa por muchos aspectos, por ese gran inicio, en la gran mafia italiana, de película y los personajes sin duda tiene gran carisma, sobre todo el nuestro y siempre será recordado Tommy.

    Gráficamente un juego increíble que se ve muy bien en todos los aspectos. La jugabilidad muy sencilla, fácil y quizá como único punto negativo es que es un juego parece perfecto, pero quizá muy vacío falta varias misiones secundarias porque el juego se hace muy corto , que no es que sea un gran aspecto negativo, pero quizá con más cosas este juego podría haber sido uno de esos juegos excelentes que lo es aun así.

    I couldn't ask for a better remake of a 20-year-old game. We don't need to rate the story or missions, as those are almost perfect. Developers who made the remake loved the original and did everything possible to provide a modern graphics experience. Must play.

    A worthy remake of the original game with stunning graphics and poignant stories by Tommy Angelo, which was buggy on release. But since the time the game was fixed and now I want to play it again and again

    Now let me say something, for me to finish a game is rare. I mean, the game has to really suck me in for me to finish a game. And Mafia caught me the moment I played it. The story will greatly appeal to those who like T

    Bardzo dobra pod względem fabuły gra, która wręcz przykuła do ekranu, jednak nie ostrzegła się błędów. Na pewno na niekorzyść wpłynęła ilość klatek, która na Xbox Series X potrafiła nie osiągać liczby 30 k/s. Do tego pojawiło się w grze nieco gliczy a dodatkowo, AI inteligencją nie grzeszyli. Tym nie mniej, dobry remake, który wciągnął od samego początku do końca rozgrywki.Bardzo dobra pod względem fabuły gra, która wręcz przykuła do ekranu, jednak nie ostrzegła się błędów.

    Certainly not perfect as far as gameplay goes, but pretty and a great story. Shooting mechanic gets a bit repetitive towards the end, but story definitely drives it home. A love letter to old school mob movies/books, though somewhat predictable in terms of moral/social criticism within the narrative. Worth a purchase imo

    The story is more or less expectedly cliche, but it's got great controls and some fun shooting levels. I liked the characters, as they're not one dimensional stereotypes. The gimmicks in "Free ride" mode, however, is really limited, not as entertaining as, let's say, the Grand Theft Auto series.

    2. Though I’d had a chance to play the original mafia game some 15 years ago, playing the Definitive Edition was nostalgic as it brought back some great memories. ...

    3. The story of Mafia is spellbinding and exceptional. One has to play it to experience the emotions through the main character. Apart from story gameplay, there’s ‘free roam’ to explore the city, and ‘car cyclopedia’ to test/drive vehicles/bikes on the racing track. ...

    4. The only thing that could be improved is the player/gameplay/camera controls for character movement/s. However, this is a personal choice and does not mean that the controls were not good. Moreover, the gameplay was great! ...

    5. The amazing background score and music in the game, especially during conversations among gang members, made the gameplay more intense as if playing and watching a movie. Moreover, the music in the cut-scenes were perfectly placed to feel the emotions that the characters are going through. The gameplay sound effects and background score made powerful impact to feel the adrenaline rush while in chase and other action scenes. Adding to it, music in romantic scenes was heart-melting. ...

    6. The cut-scenes were beautiful and enjoyable. Whether it was fear, anger, happiness, guilt, amusement, pride, pleasure, etc., the expressions of the actors were very good and noticeable. ...

    7. All in all, Mafia Definitive Edition is simply fabulous and an entertaining treat to single-players.    … Expand

    Positive points:

    Story (very good, I'd say it would be comparable to the "Godfather" of games but I'm a big fan of the mafia theme, so such a claim might be biased)

    Graphics (they are very beautiful, especially the city at night)

    Immersion (I felt very immersed in the game but maybe it was something personal, I even respected the traffic rules)

    Soundtrack

    Characters (I really liked them, felt like a sibling with Paulie and Sam, Don Salieri who passed the weight of being an authority figure and Sarah who had great chemistry with Tommy)

    End of story (it's a nice plot twist, unfortunately I already knew about this plot accidentally, but it's still amazing)

    Negative points:

    Bugs (I played this game close to launch and there were bugs that bothered me, like melee combat that sometimes looked clumsy)

    Empty open world (although very beautiful, it is lifeless and I consider this a terrible mistake, it would have a lot of potential for exploration with secondary activities,side missions and maybe even an online game mode but...)

    So, for those who are a fan of mafia theme, this is a game that cannot be ignored, it is really worth it.    … Expand

Sad when I finished it as I loved being in that world. The acting and characters were perfect and I liked how they ended the story. I had no issues with performance on my xbox one and none of the bizzare facial deformities that I have seen in videos. Highly recommend and congratulations to the developers on a job well done!!!

Так как затем захотелось пройти и вторую, и та тоже была что надо. До третьей как-то руки не дошли, хотя дойдут обязательно ибо в библиотеке она уже имеется. Правда ругают ее кому не лень, но это меня не сильно беспокоит. Watch Dogs Legion тоже все поносили, а игра-то в итоге отличная получилась! Так вот о Мафии первой давайте. Имеем по сути дело с игрой, сделанной с нуля, а не с подтянутой графикой 2002 года. Действительно выглядит новоявленная Мафия великолепно, всё как завещал великий и могучий Рэйтрэйсинг. Сюжет Мафии старой я помню с трудом, обе ее части чем-то схожи и из них в голове сложился у меня порядочный винегрет. Так что в 2021 году история Томми Анджело простого таксиста, ставшего волею судьбы правой рукой Дона Сальери — второго крупнейшего мафиозного босса в вымышленном городе Лост-Хэвен для меня воспринималась как нечто уже новое. Не особо я люблю все эти напыщенные так называемые произведения о бандитских разборках шумных итальянцев, они как-то разнообразием сильно не балуют. Как бы-то ни было сюжеточка и главные действующие персонажи в Mafia Definitive Edition заходят весьма неплохо. Наблюдать за происходящим было мне лично в меру интересно. Знаменитую локацию с гонкой пофиксили и в новом виде ее мы прошли со второй буквально попытки на нормальном уровне сложности. В далеком прошлом эта миссия сожгла в пепел не один пукан. Правда американцы из Hangar 13 решили смастерить новую игру на нервах в миссии погони с броневиком. Из n-ого количества попыток за второй десяток осилить эту чертову башню удалось только один раз практически на полностью всратом здоровье, но когда выяснилось что там еще две стадии раздевания бронемашины, не подкрепленных промежуточными сохранениями, принято было решение тупо пройти на изи и не испытывать на прочность вторую элиточку от майков. В общем и целом миссии в игре относительно разнообразные и в меру интригующие, до вау эффекта конечно далековато, но увлекательно спорить не стану. Из того что не понравилось в игре — это прежде всего стрельба. Не понимаю почему было не сделать аналогичную метку как в The Division, когда ты точно знаешь в какое место будешь стрелять, когда вылезешь из укрытия. В Мафии же ты примерно вроде бы наводишь камеру на потенциальный выстрел, по факту же вылазки получается что тебе всё равно нужно доводить прицел до цели, а за это время вражеская непись не стоит по стойке смирно, а весьма прицельно шпигует нашего Томми свинцом. К этой кривожопой стрельбе со временем привыкаешь конечно, но это не есть хорошо. Также не могу сказать за управление персонажем, что шибко оно отзывчивое, косяки незначительные имеются.… Expand

    It's not flawless, and it actually has a couple of issues, but it makes up with a fantastic story, even better acting and the feeling you're in a proper Hollywood mafia movie.

    The not so good: -A few graphic glitches. Nothing too offensive if you're not an absolute graphic nerd - which luckily I'm not -On an Xbox One S you will experience some frame rate drops. Again, not an issue if    It's not flawless, and it actually has a couple of issues, but it makes up with a fantastic story, even better acting and the feeling you're in a proper Hollywood mafia movie.

    The not so good:
    -A few graphic glitches. Nothing too offensive if you're not an absolute graphic nerd - which luckily I'm not
    -On an Xbox One S you will experience some frame rate drops. Again, not an issue if you're in this for something more than amazing graphics @ 75fps
    -Controls can be slightly clunky. You do get used to them and the game is perfectly playable and enjoyable, although it might not be the best experience of your life regarding this matter.

    The good:

    -Atmosphere is ace
    -If you played the original one when it came out, you will love the way everything has been remade in a more modern way but keeping that essence that made the first game awesome.
    -Acting - out of this world. I genuinely don't understand that some people have criticisedthe acting and/or the story. They are impeccable, period. Characters are even better than in the original game. Absolutely awesome.
    -Most of the basic features that the first game was missing are here, like being able to cover or a better melee combat.

    Overall, fantastic game. I might not pay £35 for it, but if you find it on offer don't hesitate. Is it perfect? No it isn't, but how many games are?

    Now, is it a very enjoyable experience (specially if you have nostalgia on your side) and potentially one of the best games I've ever played regarding directing and acting? Absolutely!    … Expand

There was obviously a lot of love and effort poured into this remake. From the ground up everything was redone, with the exception of the core story. The Voice acting is on point, and the writing seals the deal. The entire game was always an homage to the 30's crime noir, and gangster fiction. The game does an incredible job immersing you into Tommy's life durring his run with Don Salieri's Family. The two radio stations help drive the feel of the time, more in the talking and adverts than the music, but I can't deny that the music is also on point! Nothing quite like getting chased and shot at while some good swing music adds to the discord of the situation. I've always been a fan of that eras cars, and they did an incredible job embodying the look and feel of that periods automobiles. I've seen a few remakes over the last few years, but few have made such an impressive change as Hangar 13 and 2k Games pulled off. If you were a fan of any part of the series, this is a MUST HAVE. If you're new to it, there isn't a better time to start the series than now!… Expand

    Mafia: Definitive Edition is how a remake should be done. By taking and meticulously remoulding the original game, Mafia: Definitive Edition sings with a deliciously authentic 1930’s gangster shooter experience that’s enriched to no end by a chapter-based story that keeps the focus on the story and its characters. The aiming and target reticule aren’t ideal, and the Free Ride mode is a missed opportunity, but when the smoke clears and all you want is a classy hard-boiled gangster shooter there are few better options available.

    Mafia: Definitive Edition is the perfect game for those who loved the original work of Illusion Softworks back in 2002. A travel back to Lost Heaven that should be mandatory to meet Tommy, Paulie, Don Salieri and many others from a current and much fresher perspective. With more polished gameplay, a spectacular city perfectly set in those thirties and an identical plot, but with slight modifications that make the script grow in quality. The graphics element is just spectacular.
